Jackman’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness believes his new romance with Foster won’t last

The

photos come shortly after Jackman’s ex-wife Deborra-Lee Furness’s bombshell claims that his new romance with girlfriend Sutton Foster, 50, “won’t last.” According to an insider speaking to Radar Online, Furness, 69, believes the “surprise romance” will last “just one year before it collapses.”

The insider also said that “Debs can spot a midlife crisis from miles away, and she knows Hugh better than anyone.”

“He’s needy and he will cry on Sutton’s shoulder and try to help her solve her problems, but he won’t give her space – and that’s just the beginning of why it won’t work out, in her opinion,” they added.

“The passion and novelty of their formerly under-wraps romance will fade, along with those love hormones!”

According to insiders, Jackman and Foster are “madly in love”

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster were first romantically linked in October 2024, and are said to be “madly in love” and “committed” to taking the next steps in their relationship. An insider told US Weekly, “It felt like the right time as their relationship has gotten stronger.”

“They’ve known each other for so long that it’s easy to fall into the next stage of their relationship,” they added. The source also shared that while the couple is not officially living together, they are spending a lot of time together.

Having met while performing on Broadway’s The Music Man in 2022, the couple’s relationship faced scrutiny from Furness and fans who believe Jackman started his romance with Foster while he was still married. According to reports, Sutton has “been blindsided by the public attention” and scrutiny the couple has faced since they went public.

Jackman and Furness first announced the end of their 27-year marriage in a surprising statement in September 2023. However, the couple’s split has reportedly taken an ugly turn as Furness believes she is “entitled” to more money than they previously agreed on, as she feels betrayed by the actor’s alleged affair.

Her insistence on getting a bigger chunk of their estimated $250 million fortune is in part fueled by the shady beginning of his romance with Foster. “While he didn’t physically cheat on her with Sutton, Deborra-Lee believes they were having an emotional affair and she feels he betrayed her,” an insider told Daily Mail. 

She thus “feels entitled to more money than Hugh is willing to offer,” they added. According to reports, Furness is now using the fact that Jackman is still married and involved with another woman against him.

Despite affair claims, sources close to Jackman state there was no overlap between the two relationships

Jackman and Furness share two children from their marriage, a son, Oscar Maximilian, 24, and a daughter, Ava Eliot, 19. The couple’s nearly three-decade-long marriage first started to fall apart during COVID. This was also around the same time Jackman got close to his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster.

At the time, Foster was married to her ex-husband Ted Griffin. The couple divorced in September 2024. Despite claims of an affair, sources close to Jackman also stated that there was no overlap with his relationships with Furness and Foster.
